About the Book
"In Golf Beneath the Surface, performance consultant Dr. Raymond Prior expertly debunks these "surface-level" psychology myths and explains psychological predictors that encourage long-term growth and skillful performance under pressure"--Book Synopsis
An essential resource for golfers who want to play a smarter, more fulfilling game on the green For as long as golf has existed, the game's greatest players and instructors have lauded the importance of mental resilience. However, while golfing equipment and course strategy have evolved over time, the field of golf psychology has not kept pace. Many outdated, unscientific notions remain widespread, despite the fact that they actually lead to repetitive, harmful patterns that impair golfer gameplay and create mental barriers to success. In Golf Beneath the Surface, performance consultant Dr. Raymond Prior expertly debunks these "surface-level" psychology myths and explains psychological predictors that encourage long-term growth and skillful performance under pressure. Backed by rigorously researched neuroscience and psychology, and drawing on years of experience working with some of the world's best players, Dr. Prior shares fresh, practical insights into how golfers think, train, and play, both on and off the course. With a customizable experience that places the reader's own psychology front and center, this book breaks down:Review Quotes
"""After years of traveling the PGA TOUR and coaching at the highest level, I've met all the popular golf psychologists. Raymond's rational, practical, and holistic approach to performance psychology is light-years ahead of anyone else and now available to everyone in Golf Beneath the Surface.""
--Nick Clearwater, vice president of instruction at GOLFTEC and one of Golf Digest's 50 Best Teachers in America
""Raymond can explain the what, why, and how golfers can play more freely, and confidently game better than anyone I've ever known. I only wish I would have known Raymond when I was still playing on tour.""
--Hal Sutton, PGA TOUR champion, two-time PLAYERS champion, and five-time Ryder Cup team member ""Raymond Prior is one of the world's leading experts in peak performance and brings that expertise to every golfer in Golf Beneath the Surface . . . Rather than giving readers a bunch of tired, outdated golf clichés, he teaches players to understand what the brain is designed to do and why that impacts how we play.""
--Chase Cooper, director of instruction at Hal Sutton Golf Academy ""Golf Beneath the Surface truly provides helpful, research-backed processes to better a player's thoughts, habits, and actions on the course. It replaces overused and outdated golf psychology myths with actionable steps that are proven to work. I can't wait to use the new knowledge myself and will be recommending the book to my students and peers.""
--Abby Mann, PGA player development and teaching professional ""We've all heard that golf is 90 percent mental but rarely know how to practice this area. Golf Beneath the Surface offers thought-provoking ideas into what matters most for understanding how your psychology can unlock a path to better golf.""
--Melissa Luellen, head women's golf coach at Auburn University"
